SPES 800N Plastron

Protective HEMA plastron

• Collar with “bladecatcher” to protect the throat
• 800N certified (level2)
• Fastening adjustable to all body types

This HEMA chest protector was developed by the company SPES for the specific needs of sword fencers.

It is recommended for competitors and for  coaches, beginners, and HEMAists who want to increase the level of their protection. This HEMA chest guard is completely made of materials with 800N puncture resistance, and its inner layer is made of cushioning 3D netting.

The collar has a bladecatcher which stops the blade from getting under fabric. It also has amortization in the form of cushioning foam. The Larynx guard in this HEMA plastron meets the requirements of larynx protection defined in some tournament rules.

There is also an ECO-leather pocket in the front of this plastron for additional strengthening foam which absorbs hit impact. This solution gives an option of modifying the level of protection in the front part. Regardless of the presence of additional covers, this HEMA guard always keeps 800N puncture resistance.

This plastron is fastened on the back with 4 buckles. Each belt has a regulation, which makes our HEMA gear adjustable, fitting different users.

HEMA Plastron Level 2 is part of a set including also a HEMA Padded Skirt Level 2. Plastron is recommended especially for longsword duels, when the torso is exposed for very strong shoves.
